The AB test example where everything was kept the same except the color of the button should be taken with a grain of salt. Many elements on the page are green and there's almost no trace of red, so obviously changing the button color to re

This is stupid and it proves nothing. It's the equivalent of living on Rupees for a week. Sure, you might find some Indian people who will take your money, but nobody's trying to replace the USD with either the Rupee or the Bitcoin. Pure si

This is still true for experienced developers. Iterative development. Write crap first, then turn it into something beautiful later.

I'm not sure there's $1.2M worth of ASIC hardware made yet. Also, for that amount of money you could do a lot of malicious things, even to traditional banks.

Why would I want this? I can use CrashPlan to backup my files to the 'cloud' safely. I don't care where it's stored, as long as it's safe. For fast access and high availability I could just buy a hard drive instead of a device that acts lik

I'd love to have one of these in a 13" notebook to use as main system while doing extended travelling.

A much better and less biased article than the 'Bitcon' one. It shows once more that no one really knows what Bitcoin is and what's going to happen to it. If you must compare Bitcoin to gold, consider the current price of gold, imagine that

This is shamefully bad. There is no excuse for this.

To add to that, it also illustrates the over-dependence of the bitcoin community on a single exchange site. What I was trying to show is that, despite those pretty major problems, Bitcoin is still massively popular. Hopefully it can come ou

MtGox requires a fair bit of verification, but they've also been around pretty much the longest, and have already had to deal with all the security issues that other bitcoin sites are only beginning to discover. I trust them. (That is to sa

Yet people aren't. Apparently there's still enough belief to warrant this kind of growth. (..getting ready to eat my own words, real soon..)

I would pay money if someone remade Wordpress on Django (and still kept it compatible with existing plugins and themes).

Very good point. It might even be cheaper to offer it in bitcoins, tax-wise, depending on government regulations. (off-topic: are you the Asahi Kasei Tor? long time no see!)

Hm, I feel compelled to upvote this because I own bitcoins and any promotion of bitcoins will likely result in an increase in value, but I can see how it will result in HN being full of meaningless articles about bitcoins. Incidentally, by

The gist I got from it is that the US government is aware of bitcoin, has some casual ruleset surrounding it and will not (for now) take action against anyone using it, or if they do, it'll only be the exchanges, not individuals. Looks like

Perhaps not the collapse of all banking, but it could well be remembered as the first direct cause of the EU breaking up into separate countries/areas again.

You cannot possibly call this 'wrong' based on how things went in the past. The current bitcoin economy is shaping up naturally, it's the way people are making money from bitcoin. This post just seems like the author is trying to put bitcoi

Why is it necessary to specify the database backend to use? Django already abstracts it away, so why should I make the (same) choice twice? (I know it's not for caching because a database cache backend is mentioned separately).

The only thing this article did was let me know the names of some torrent sites I didn't know about yet. Thanks for sharing the love, BBC.

So rather than the opportunist/capitalist/democratic solution of bitcoin, we have a benevolent dictator handing out 'money' to whoever would like to be on the network?

Interesting Twitter example. Let's put it in reverse: if 90% of the population was riding bicycles there'd be a lot of angry tweets about cars.
